Visit Porini Amboseli Camp

This award-winning Kenya safari camp is set in the Amboseli eco-system within the exclusive Selenkay Conservancy– an important wildlife dispersal area for wildlife moving out of Amboseli National Park. The private conservation area ensures the best possible game viewing in proper off-road safari vehicles, off the beaten track and away from other tourist vans and minibuses.

Porini Amboseli Safari Camp is small – with just 10 spacious guest tents – and retains all the charm and feel of the traditional mobile safari camps of days gone by. The tents are tastefully furnished and have solar powered electric lighting with en suite bathrooms including shower, wash basin and flush toilet.

Seattle52 - Sept 2024

First Camp on our 10 day safari for our family of 13. Near and dear to our hearts.

Porini Amboseli was our first camp where we took 6 of their total tents. Our tents were awesome, all the staff and drivers were incredible, the meals were delicious and we loved the hot water bottles in our beds at night after we climbed in for a much needed rest after long game drives. The hot bucket showers were the best!

Trip of a lifetime

This camp was so majestic. Being this close to elephants was a lifetime experience. Thompson was our guide and was so knowledgeable. All of the staff was extremely friendly and accommodating. I would highly recommend to anyone wanting a trip of a lifetime.

Incredible spot for wildlife

For our first of two safaris our family of 5 was greeted by our wonderful Maasai guides as soon as we landed and within minutes we were up close and personal with a male lion and his two lionesses and completely blown away that we were actually in their world. Our guides, Daniel and Thompson, instantly captured our hearts as they shared their extensive knowledge and life long experiences growing up as proud Maasai warriors. Their superhuman skill for tracking a multitude of animals was proof the Maasai people are very much part of the nature in which they live. Our visit to the nearby Maasai villagers warmed our hearts with their kindness. All the Maasai camp staff were incredible and the accommodations were very clean and comfortable.

Seen it all !!

What a way to do safari!! The camp is ECO friendly and staying on the conservancy means so much more freedom to see the wildlife up close. The early wake up calls for the game drive are worth it especially when you see a lioness at the watering hole outside the camp or 2 cheetahs sauntering down the road… special thanks to Moses our guide and Melita who were both just extremely knowledgeable about the wildlife and where to find it.
